New England or New York planning professionals may submit urban design and campus projects planned for anywhere in the world. Design professionals working anywhere in the world may submit urban design and campus projects planned for New England or New York.
The judging criterion is design excellence. In the category of campus planning, evidence of how well the plan expresses implementation strategies, phasing, heritage and vision may also be considered. The jury is empowered to determine the extent to which design excellence is defined by aesthetic, functional, contextual, sustainable, social or other characteristics. The jury may elect to honor all or part of a project, in any category they choose.
Eligibility
This award comprises two distinct categories that will be independently assessed:
- Urban design shapes the public realm, in the form of historic preservation projects, landscape design, new community-design plans, permanent or time-limited public art, public open-space plans, regional plans, transit-oriented projects, urban infill projects and waterfront planning projects.
- Campus planning is the articulation and documentation of a proposed arrangement of buildings, landscapes and infrastructure in support of an institution’s purpose, programs, priorities and physical presence.
Unimplemented or unbuilt urban design projects are eligible if they meet the other applicable requirements of this program, but projects must have an actual, identifiable client. Projects or plans submitted to either category in this program must have been completed between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2011.
Projects that have been honored in past years and work by jurors or by their firms are ineligible.
